For brass mounted, copper. riveted

in Florida" is entitled to the medal.
To peruse that remarkable perform
ance one might suppose that the gifted
editor OF that rip-roaring sheet had rem
dered the State . service in his recent
causeless, untruthful and injurious TRADE
concerning the " missing tourists" Says
the editor:
Every statement of fact made by the
Times Union has been suhstantiafed, and
every argument and appeal in this con-
nection has been justified"
Every line, every word Of evidence
thus far submitted disproves the asser-
tions made by the Times onion in the
article ieferred to. The statements Of
the paper were taken up, one by one, and
proved to be without foundation in fact.
IL was shown that the great bulk of
our tourist travel comes from the ATTAIN

The hotel proprietors at st. Augustine

How To Amuse Children.

natural sources OF pleasure are often entirely

"What . litter you are making with that
rubbish; let's clear il all away, and play
with your pretty doll" What a source of
pleasure and instruction might have been
derived from examining the different colors,
the different shades of the same color. and
the shape and texture of the buds and leaves.

the mother said: "Horrid, nasty creature;

ing and entertaining particulars respecting
the eyes. the feelers, the thread spun by the
spider, the web, etc. And afterward, what
useful lessons might have been given, by ask

A S12,OOO,0OO Citizen has Insufliciency
of the Heart.

1t is reported that one Of the best known
business men in the United States, like all
millionnaires and heavy business men, is
reaping the benefits Of the needless overstrain
of n grasping nature. When aman wants the
earth, he generally pays for it. His phvsi-
clans said he had insufficiency of the heart,
which is generally known by shortness of
breath on exercise, and easily excited tremor
in the chest. Sudden paralysis Of the heart
is likely to ensue, and the victim suddenly
drops dead. 1t is u trouble very prevalent
in this country, and is often mistaken for
nervousness. In some persons 1t is consti
tutional. Not long since this man nearly lost
his life in London after severe exercise. He
came back to the United States and gave up
business, as medicine did him no good. lie
took to drinking MoxIe. The nerves Of the
heart recovered, and he has been well aud at
his business again nearly year. He will
not let the Moxie Co hawk his name in the
papers, but says he will build monument to
it. He should talk too. If Moxie is what 1t
is claimed to be, the country should have
proof of it. d2taw&wlwnr
